Chopped liver?<br /><br />Just teasing, dear, just teasing. Surprisingly, this is one thing I have never struggled with. I am actually trying to learn to say <b><i>Yes</i></b> more often. <br /><br />Nick taught me to say <i>Yes</i>, and when he died all my <i>No</i> came surging back. I&#39;m trying to remember <i>Yes.</i>Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11566205581092404455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33389069.post-88586087624549961452010-04-07T20:39:58.552-05:002010-04-07T20:39:58.552-05:00Good luck with sorting it out, Marsha.

It would be nice if I could &quot;get a grip&quot; before it becomes overwhelming....Marshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05892880057977848604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33389069.post-19157061991509697382010-04-07T02:48:05.024-05:002010-04-07T02:48:05.024-05:00Ahhhh Marsha.

I&#...Ahhhh Marsha. I relate to this in a big way.<br /><br />I&#39;ve pared back this year in order to provide a stable home front for my children. My eldest is involved in all sorts of things and is also in her last year of high school. And she&#39;s aiming for high marks to gain entry into her university and course of choice. My almost 15 year old son is on the cusp of obsessive compulsive behaviours and needs consistency, stability and calmness.<br /><br />There are so many things I want to do, that I&#39;m capable of doing, that I&#39;d be excited about doing, that would set up my future sans teenagers. However, I need to provide the secure launch platform for them first so I will be sans teenagers!<br /><br />I struggle with my self imposed restrictions even though I&#39;m 100% certain I&#39;m doing the right thing, because I&#39;m living in the present wisely and earnestly. But I remain human and selfish!<br /><br />AliMaisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05309794913406397044noreply@blogger.com
